Game of Thrones: The Strongest Dragon Mother

Chapter 71 The Expensive Valyrian Steel Sword

Before Whitebeard Astan could answer the previous question, Jorah said aggressively again: "Let me ask you again, how will Illyrio arrange the future of the princess? Contact the nobles of the Seven Kingdoms? Use his property to hire mercenaries?"

"The names of Dragon and Targaryen can only stimulate those princes in the melee to immediately put aside their disputes and unanimously speak out. Maybe some people have expectations for Her Royal Highness, but more assassins will come in an endless stream. Who can guarantee her safe?"

Jorah asked several questions in a row, leaving Grole at a loss. This old seaman was completely ignorant of politics, and the purpose of his trip was to bring Queen Daenerys back to Pentos.

But in theory, he is now serving the queen, and he is also considered a subject under the queen's command.

Belwas didn't react at all, and continued to eat his skewers. It was his job to protect the little queen's safety, and he didn't care about anything else.

Whitebeard pondered for a long time, raised his head, and looked at Dani with firm eyes: "I swear with my life and honor to protect the safety of Her Highness the Princess."

"Alas!" Jorah sighed, and said helplessly, "As the Queen's Iron Guard, I have already dedicated my life to Your Highness, and her bloodriders will live and die with her, but facing the traitors of the Seven Kingdoms, what's the point? significance?

A random mercenary team of 300 people can wipe out all threats. Do you think Duke Tywin, who is full of golden shit, would be stingy with such a few golden dragons? "

The tall and burly body of the white beard stood there, his lips were tightly pressed, and he asked, "Do you have any suggestions?"

"Go to Slaver's Bay and buy the Unsullied." Qiao Lalang said.

"It's useless without the Unsullied, and my boat can't hold it if there are too many!" Grole sighed.

"Go to Slaver's Bay first." Jorah didn't say that he would sell the goods on the ship, even your big ship, for the Unsullied.

At this time, Dany seemed to have finally made a decision, she gritted her teeth and said, "I've decided to follow Sir Mormont's advice and go to Slaver's Bay. Will you three go?"

"Wherever you go, I will go," the strong Belwas raised his head, slurring his mouth with food in his mouth, "That fat man in Pentos only hired me to protect you, and now I am yours!"

You are a dead eunuch, you can eat more than my dragon, you are so ambiguous, I don't want you.

Dany nodded with a smile.

"I am willing to serve you." Glory said.

"I am Belwas' squire." Whitebeard said.

In this way, everyone's opinions were basically unified, no matter how loyal they were, the three ships temporarily surrendered to Dani.

"Then I ordered to change course?" Grole asked her.

"Let me think about it." Dany asked Grolai to open the chart and ask him to mark the approximate location of the fleet at this time.

The speed of this big-bellied sea-going ship is not as fast as that of the sailing ships of the Earth's great navigation age, and it only has a speed of about eight knots.

Well, about 14 kilometers per hour, and can run more than 300 kilometers a day.

Of course, this is related to the wind speed. When there is no wind, the ship hovers directly on the sea surface, and when the wind speed is good, it can reach more than 10 knots.

It has been three days since we left New Ghis, and there is still a day or two before we cross the Stormy Sea outside Valyria. At this time, we can turn to Slaver's Bay.

Only after seeing the ruins of Valyria on the map, Dany remembered the majestic magical city she saw in the Temple of the Immortal.

She tapped the location of Valyria's capital on the map with her finger, then turned around and asked, "Has anyone explored the Valyrian ruins?"

"Yes," Whitebeard frowned, "For nearly 400 years, countless people have wanted to go to the Valyrian ruins to find relics. The most common long swords of Valyrian nobles are also forged from Valyrian steel, and The most common Valyrian two-handed sword is a priceless treasure even today.

It is said that Tywin Lannister once tried to buy the family sword of a down-and-out nobleman—the Valyrian steel sword, but no matter how much Tywin raised the price, the nobleman did not sell it.

I don't know how much Tywin bid, but Lannister's wealth can start with at least 20 golden dragons. "

"Cough cough cough" Jorah Mormont coughed violently as if choking on saliva.

After a while, he touched his nose, blushed, and muttered in embarrassment, "Isn't it a poor little nobleman?"

White Beard and Dany's eyes were wide open, and they looked at the exiled Earl of Bear Island in amazement.

"Could it be you who is the seller?" White Beard murmured.

"I never thought of selling Longclaw!" Mormont protested loudly.

"When I was looking for a loan from Tywin in Port Lannister, that guy kept pestering me to buy a sword, but Longclaw is the family sword of the Mormont family. My father is not dead yet. He knows it. He will probably return from the Great Wall. , slashed me with a knife."

If your father died, did you sell the clan sword at that time?

Everyone had this thought, and White Beard looked at Jorah with even more contempt.

Well, just like Mormont can't see Whitebeard, Whitebeard also looks down on knights who have lost their honor.

"I'm afraid Linnis Hightower doesn't know about this?" Whitebeard sarcastically said.

Mormont's eyes dodged, and he hesitated to change the subject: "It's not 20. Tywin called out a sky-high price of 85 gold dragons, but I insisted not to sell it, even if he threatened me not to give me a loan. Then I went to Bradford Steel Bank has borrowed money."

85 golden dragons?

102 billion soft girl coins, which is enough for that prodigal girl of the Jorah family to spend her whole life (Linice: Hmph, you underestimate me).

Dany was dumbfounded, and the idea of ​​going to Valyria grew stronger in her mind.

Then another question arose in her mind: "Ser, the Lannisters don't even have Valyrian steel swords. Where did you get them from Bear Island?"

Jorah immediately replied: "The Lannister also has a Valyrian steel two-handed sword, Light Howl. More than a century before the fall of Valyria, King Casterly Rock spent nearly 200 million gold dragons from Valyrian Yarenna ordered it."

shit, big bear, please don't provoke me anymore!

Dany's eyes were turning to gold coins.

Whitebeard seemed to have guessed her thoughts, and then warned: "After the fall of Valyria, people in the world covet Valyrian treasures and secret arts, and Lannister is no exception.

More than 300 years ago, King Tommen II of Casterly Rock formed a super fleet - known as the "Golden Fleet" in history to explore Valyria, which was destroyed by the catastrophe of the doomsday. As a result, dozens of warships, thousands of sailors, and Tommen II himself fell together in the ruins cursed by the gods.

King Kayan's sword, Guang Xiao, was naturally left behind in the ruins of Valyria.

Just ten years ago, the younger brother of Duke Tywin, Jillian Lannister, also disappeared on the journey to find the clan sword.

Apart from Lannister, the Volantis who are closest to Valyria are the most orthodox nobles of the ancient Valyrian Freedom Fortress, but they still never returned.

The painful experience of countless people tells us that it is a piece of Jedi, Your Highness, with your wisdom, you should not do such a foolish act. "

Dany is naturally far inferior to Tommen II in terms of people and ships, but she also has her own cards.

"Astan, I fully understand your wise advice." Dany smiled gratefully at him, changed the subject, and continued: "But I have a dragon, and our fleet only needs to stay at a safe perimeter. A dragon can cross the treacherous seas and enter the shattered peninsula."

"This..." White Beard became incredulous.

"You can give this a try." Jorah touched the fluffy chin and said worriedly, "But we don't know what danger is inside. If there is an accident, your dragon may be afraid."

"Why don't you let the dragon explore the Valyrian ruins when he's older and more capable?" he suggested.

This is an old-fashioned opinion, stable and reasonable, and Dany has no reason to refuse.

"The dragon has three heads," she said with a sigh, "but there is only one dragon rider. When the dragon grows up, the white dragon and the black dragon may become wild dragons. They will definitely not harm me, but you

Now they are still young and can't attack humans, but it won't take a few years, just a year I can't watch them all the time, just like Dahei, he will always leave my sight and go out to play in the wild.

I want to go to Valyria to find the real secret of how to train dragons, at least to keep those two dragons from eating people. "

In the original plot, Daenerys' dragons eat people, even little girls, and the three dragons are almost reduced to wild dragons-in fact, the white dragon and the green dragon are wild dragons that are uncontrolled in the end.

"Can you control the black dragon? I think he can easily hunt humans now." Whitebeard worried.

"Okay, don't worry about the black dragon at all." Dani said confidently.

It is precisely because the black dragon once had the desire to devour centaur children that Dani has the worry about the dragon eating people.

She could feel Dahei's emotions. When she was in Qarth, a two or three-year-old centaur girl accidentally broke into her bedroom. Dahei was startled, and immediately thought of killing her and eating her.

Dany was horrified at the time, realizing for the first time that dragons are legendary creatures at the top of the food chain, and humans are a dessert in their recipes.

Later she asked Jorah again.

Ser told her that the dragon not only eats people, but even eats several Targaryen.

Of course, it was a Targaryen infighting. One Targaryen fed another Targaryen to the dragon. Under normal circumstances, a dragon would not take the initiative to eat a Targaryen—if that Targaryen is not qualified to be a dragon master , but choose to ride a dragon, [-]% will be eaten.

Later, Whitebeard came, and Dany asked him for advice, seeing that he had a lot of experience and knew a lot about the past affairs of the Targaryen family.

White Beard said that a dragon with a master will not harm humans, and the most terrifying thing is the wild dragon without a master. They are unruly and difficult to control.

He also told her a terrible case. During the Dance of the Dragons, the Targaryen family had more than 20 dragons. There were so many dragons that no one tamed three of them and became wild dragons.

There is a wild dragon named "Glutton", which is extremely terrifying. It not only ate a large group of trainee dragon knights (Targaryen without dragons, or Velaryon), but also bullied the small by devouring dragon corpses and young dragons. with dragon eggs.

So hearing Dany's worries, the most mature and prudent white beard fell silent.

"You can only get close to the edge, absolutely not to enter that place." With a sigh, the white beard waved his hand and said: "When you get to the place, you will understand. I hope the black dragon will not be injured."

"I'll save it." Dany nodded, and asked Mormont, "Why does your longclaw only cost 85 yuan, but Guangxiao costs 200 million? Does the price of Valyrian steel sword fluctuate so much?"
